It would fail at load time.
As I'm not a windows programmer, I don't know (too much) what is an
import library. On unix, an undefined symbol in a linked dll is a
static linker error. You only may get a load-/runtime error if you
explicitly use dlopen, or if you physically change the dll for an
incompatible one (not supposed to happen!).
